The ballet "Apburtā princese" is a classical ballet performance at the Latvian National Opera and Ballet in Riga, taking place from 30 January to 26 May 2027. Audiences will see fairy-tale princes, princesses, good and evil fairies, and wondrous characters brought to life with music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Choreographer Aivars Leimanis notes this production as a gold standard of classical ballet, preserving Marius Petipa’s original choreography and adding new dances for the LNO ballet troupe. The role of Princess Aurora stands out as one of the most challenging female parts in ballet. The show is suitable for adults and families, offering a magical experience.
